Overweight, and shipping to basic in two weeks

May 23rd, 2012, 05:09 PM

I am overweight and I'll be shipping to Basic on 20120613. I pass the tape test every month, PT test, but am at 25-24% body fat. Do they Tape you at Reception? The Ohio guard doesnt have you go to MEPS before you ship. I also don't want to be put into Fat Camp because I have a mandatory return date, due to me being only a Junior at the moment.

If you have continued to pass the tape test, you should be in good shape. Just don't slack off, continue to workout and take weight off prior to Basic. There is a lot you can accomplish in 2 weeks. Here is what you can expect at the Reception http://bit.ly/LI15rO

If you've been passing every RSP drill, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I guarantee you will lose between 15 to 30 pounds while you're at BCT.

I just met the tape and bmi requirement, but I will push to lose a little more before I enlist. I'm excited that I managed to lose weight on my own and I'm glad to be self motivated. I will hopefully be enlisting in Feb God willing and if all goes as planned.
